Greens senator Peter Whish-Wilson has become the latest Greens senator (after David Shoebridge) to mention the Atlas Network in the Australian parliament:
On Tuesday night, Whish-Wilson said:
I wish to shine a light on and warn the Australian people of the international Atlas Network, a little-
known but powerful global network of political actors operating in Australia, the United States, New Zealand and, indeed, 100 other countries. It is producing disinformation on a vast scale through its 580 partner organisations and working to infiltrate and take key roles in public institutions to achieve discipline and control over government policy, legislation, the media, the courts and the public service. It is a many-headed hydra, constantly changing its shape.Its tentacles firmly clutch Australia.
The forces at work creating this torrent of divisive, dishonest and dangerous politics are indeed deep, dangerous and murky, and you won’t see them by looking at the surface. Staying afloat against such a toxic tide firstly requires a much better understanding of the forces shaping these dangerous undercurrents and where they want to lead us.
We need to see with clear eyes what we are truly up against. The election and brazen madness of this Trump administration and the ascension of Mr Dutton in the polls didn’t happen overnight. This happened over many, many decades
